May 2009
 
 


Highlights from the May 2009 issue of The Cerulli Edge™Global Edition include: 

  • Troubled banks and insurers seeking to offload their asset management units are dominating fund industry M&A activity.
     
  • Pressure is growing on global managers to achieve cost savings through increased scale via M&A, amid lower AUM and depressed net flows.
     
  • These trends could eventually create a more independently-owned, consolidated fund management industry in both the U.S. and Europe.
